After googling for hours I still do not understand why my CanoScan 9000FMarkII is not recognized by my Lubuntu computer (14.04 kernel) and amhoping some of you could help with this.

When I run sane-find-scanner I get:

# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, makesure that# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

# No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, makesure that# you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller andhave setup# the USB system correctly. See man sane-usb for details.# SANE has been built without libusb support. This may be a reason# for not detecting USB scanners. Read README for more details.

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.

# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietaryports# can't be detected by this program.

# You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you# found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as# necessary.

I have tried to add the rule:# Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark IIATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="190d", MODE="0664",GROUP="scaner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yesin /etc/udev/rules.d/50-CanonScan.rules but still get the same problem.

And of course, make sure you have the scanner turned on prior to startingXSane.

If this all fails, try using another USB port. Although I've yet to hear ofany USB problems with this canon scanner.

My bets are on, omitting the "pixma" driver within the dll.conf or less likely,sane-backends version. Or maybe sane-backends is not even installed.sane-frontends provides some additional GUI frontends including the Gimpscanning plugin.
